Dale Burk’s Montana

An Exquisitely Beautiful, Big Format Color Book....... DALE BURK’S MONTANABy Dale A. Burk
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp In vibrant text and stunning color photographs, author Dale Burk takes you into the heart and soul of the wild Montana he’s both lived and worked in all his life. Long one of Montana’s most widely published writers and photographers, in this new very personal book he offers a moving essay about Montana combined with 150 superb color photographs of Montana scenes, its seasonal moods and variations, and its people and wild creatures.
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Jack Weidenfeller of Missoula, in his Foreword for “Dale Burk’s Montana,” calls this beautiful book “a tribute to the state that is the love of his (Dale’s) life, a place, a land, a spirit that in its non-uniformity and majestic grandeur not only inspires awe and captures imagination, but evokes a loyalty and in turn a responsibility to recognize its beauty and conserve its riches. In this book, Dale, whose third-generation roots lie deep in northwestern Montana, succeeds in painting a picture of Montana’s geological and cultural diversity, of its history and the impact of the people who have shaped and scarred it, and of the current struggle to control the forces both within and without the state that are continually besieging this ‘one of a kind’ place....”
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Dale Burk’s Montana” was issued in large 8x10-inch format to emphasize the many color photographs of scenic grandeur and subtle, smaller elements of life in the Big Sky Country that usually elude notice. In short, the book is a very intimate and personal essay in text and photographic form about a land the author loves. Weidenfeller notes: “For readers who know and love Montana, these original pictures will illuminate regions seldom seen, stir up memories, inform and evoke sentiments of pride and attachment, of anxiety and defensiveness. Readers unfamiliar with Montana will find in the pages of this book romance, unforgettable scenes of fierce and majestic beauty, pock-marked history and haunting questions in the context of the writer’s passion for a land that has been described as ‘uncommon’ and ‘nothing better anywhere else’.”
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp This is a big, beautiful book, issued in both softcover and hardcover editions, 160 pages, with 150 full color photographs.ISBN 1-931291-24-1 Dale Burk’s Montana (softcover) – $19.95
